Most voters can't name any candidates

NATIONWIDE — Two-thirds of voters--including two-thirds of Democrats--were unable to name any of the Democratic candidates for president, a CBS News poll released Sunday has found.

When the pollsters provided voters with the names of the candidates, Joseph Lieberman, Dick Gephardt and Howard Dean were the only three with double-digit support from registered Democrats. Lieberman, a Connecticut senator, had the backing of 14 percent; Gephardt, a Missouri congressman, was backed by 11 percent; and Dean, a former governor of Vermont, was at 10 percent. Other candidates had support in the single digits.

The poll of 775 registered voters was taken Aug. 26-28 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, larger for subgroups such as Democratic voters.
